The learner can:

1.1 identify Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) appropriate to preparing areas to receive block paving
P.P.E. for Construction Operations Units
1.2 identify materials required to prepare areas to receive block paving
1.3 identify tools and equipment required to prepare areas to receive block paving
1.4 State The Basic Patterns Used To Lay Block Paviours
Herringbone block pavers pattern whether it’s 45° or 90° because of it interlocking pattern it is commonly used for heavy loads such as driveways as the pattern doesn’t shift.
The first few blocks laid in 45° Herringbone Pattern need to be correctly lined up, so the direction of the pattern is straight.
All sides of the paving area will have two cuts on both sides a full block paver using more cuts than the 90° herringbone pattern.
90° Herringbone Pattern, is a lot easier to set out and theirs is less waste and has long straight lines to work too.
The cuts needed are half a block paver enabling you to use the other half so there’s no waste
